Help Shantel patch the roof before the monsoon
Shantel, a school janitor, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 2-weekend roof repair in Kingston.
🇯🇲 Kingston, Kingston, Jamaica472 views
I'm a school janitor living in Kingston. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 4 places, and the kids' bedroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $980, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the shingles and underlay. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Thank you for reading my story.

Praying for you, Shantel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Jalandhar so I could bring a meal. God bless.
wishing you the best, Shantel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
sending good thoughts, Shantel. I hope things turn around soon
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
